Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Tuesday rejected reports that he has spent taxpayer money on private jet travel.

“Insults and innuendos are misleading,” Zinke said in comments before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where he was testifying about the Interior Department’s fiscal 2019 budget request. “I never took a private jet anywhere.”
